Simon Cowell presents his mini-me baby Eric with matching glasses

Fatherhood suits Simon Cowell, and baby Eric certainly seems to be taking after his dad!

In a hilarious new photo that the X Factor boss posted online, the 54-year-old can be seen proudly holding his six-month-old son while they rock matching aviator sunglasses on their luxury yacht.

“Taking after daddy,” Simon captioned the photo for his 10.2 million Twitter followers.

Let’s hope that Eric steers clear from the high-waisted jeans for a while though!

Baby Eric’s mother Lauren Silverman recently revealed that she was keen to have more children with the music mogul, telling The Mirror that having Eric with Simon had been a “blessing”, while Simon admitted he's keen for a little girl.

"I was never able to have a child for a long time, it's the biggest blessing," Lauren said.

"With Simon I'm the happiest I've ever been. He's an amazing dad, he does all the nappies, very hands-on. I love him. We'll definitely have more children.”
